I found this photo with three flags visible (caption of image is "Flags from various Arctic Communities"), but I only found the middle flag (left photo, center flag) at FOTW site,which is the ( Arviat Flag of Nunavut, Canada.
)

My guess is that the one saying "Kuujjuaq" (left photo, right flag) has some relation to http://www.nvkuujjuaq.ca/

The Flag of Puvirnituq can be seen on this photo (right photo, right flag). Puvirnituq is an Inuit settlement on the Povungnituk River near its mouth on the Hudson Bay in northern Quebec, Canada. Its population is only 1287 (2001). The name means "Place where there is a smell of rotten meat" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puvirnituq,_Quebec). The Second flag (right photo, left flag) is a flag of 2nd Service Battalion, a unit of the Canadian Forces (CF). The flag of a service battalion is a horizontal tricolour, red over yellow over blue. The red represents the Medical Corps, yellow Logistics, and blue the Engineers. The flag also has a large Arabic numeral (representing the battalion's number) in the centre, extending into the red and blue bars. This flag was designed by Chief Warrant Officer Phil Raven during his time as RSM of 2 Service Battalion in the 1970s. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_battalion)

While researching Turkish Underwater Sports Federation (Turkiye Sualtı
Sporlari Federasyonu) flags I found this photo on the official site with an athlete holding an unknown flag, does anybody recognize it?

I spotted this flag at Billwerder Bucht in Hamburg on 13 March 2007. The flag is divided by a white saltire into red blue. In the centre is a white disc containing a red capital "S." The flag was said to belong to a transport and/or logistics company in Berlin. Two years have been gone by, but I haven’t succeeded in identifying this flags. Jan wrote to me, confirming he had also seen the S-flag in Berlin in 2006.
